These immaculate works (oil on canvas, each at 14 x 11.875 inches) executed in 1964 by the late Francis Bacon are being auctioned off at Sotheby’s in February 2011. Pre-estimates value these at between 11.09 and 14.25 million USD.

this gem, from one of my favorite dead artists, Francis Bacon, recently sold at Sotheby’s for $14, 082,500 (includes buyer’s premium). what’s really fascinating of this painting is its provenance – Bacon gave this painting to his personal doctor.
